Father’s Day is fast approaching, and we all want our dad (or any kind of father figure in our lives) to feel appreciated. Dads can be hard to buy for but here are some of our suggestions. Whether it’s something as universal as a drill for DIY or as leftfield as an electric keyboard, here are some ideas for presents that can really show that you care.
Electric Drill
Who doesn’t need an electric drill in their home? As useful for basic repairs and putting shelves up as it is for more elaborate home DIY projects like building a shed, installing some decking, or making furniture. Cordless drills are especially practical as they can be used anywhere without the constraints of cables.

Hedge Trimmer
Hedges can make or break a garden’s appearance and your dad will appreciate the neatness of beautifully manicured foliage. With a hedge trimmer, he can choose laser-like right angles, smooth organically flowing shapes, or even try his hand at some topiary. A cordless hedge trimmer makes the job even easier.

Multi-Tool
For the keen DIYer, this is the ultimate gift. A multi-tool allows you to cut, scrape, sand so can be used for removing grout, cutting pipes, sanding wood, stripping paint etc. This can help with any number of home renovation tasks.

Leaf Blower
Arguably one of the most fun jobs in the garden; is manoeuvring leaves and garden debris into neat piles in minutes, leaving perfectly clear lawns, paths, and patios. For extra efficiency, chose a model that also vacuums the waste up and shreds it for you. A satisfying job and great results! Click here for more details.
Electric Blanket
Poor quality sleep and aches and pains are things that many of us experience as we get older. If these are affecting your dad, he may really benefit from an electric blanket. Yes, of course, they keep you warm in bed (which is a great advantage in itself) but they’re also really good at soothing general aches and delivering pain relief from conditions like arthritis, back conditions, frozen shoulders, and muscle spasms. This can improve the quality of your sleep, which in itself is useful for healing and well-being. If it delivers this, it could be the best gift ever. As well as electric blankets, you can buy heat pads that target specific areas of the body, such as the back, neck, or feet.

Metal Detector
This is where we get a bit more niche, but this gift could just be the starting point for a new hobby that gets your dad out into the fresh air, sparks an interest in history and archaeology, and could even be something you can do together. Metal detecting is great fun and there’s always the excitement of the potential of finding something really interesting or valuable! Click here for more details.
Electric Keyboard
Who hasn’t had ideas of being some kind of pop star or rock god at some point or other? Many dads will have but maybe put their ambitions on the back burner while they dealt with the practicalities of bringing up a family and paying the mortgage. However, it’s never too late! Whether they had some piano lessons when they were younger or just fancy having a go at taking up an instrument later in life, you help them achieve their dreams of musical stardom. Well, maybe they could knock out some half decent tunes at family parties, guided by some YouTube tutorials at least? The great thing about an electric keyboard, rather than a guitar or drum kit, is they can use them with headphones to spare the household from the early practising stage!
